Punicalin is an ellagitannin. It can be found in Punica granatum (pomegranate) [1] or in the leaves of Terminalia catappa , a plant used to treat dermatitis and hepatitis. [2] [3] It is also reported in Combretum glutinosum , all three species being Myrtales, the two last being Combretaceae.

It is a highly active carbonic anhydrase inhibitor. [4]

Chemistry

The molecule contains a gallagic acid component linked to a glucose.
